Wiring module
Abstract
A wiring module to be attached to a plurality of power storage devices arranged in an arrangement direction, the wiring module including: an insulating protector; and a flexible printed wiring board disposed in the protector, wherein the protector has a shape extending in the arrangement direction, the flexible printed wiring board includes a main body part extending in the arrangement direction and disposed in the protector, and an extension piece extending from the main body part, the extension piece has a curved portion that is curved, and the extension piece is inverted by the curved portion, and the protector includes a locking part that locks to the extension piece from a direction to prevent the curved portion from deforming back to an original shape thereof.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A wiring module to be attached to a plurality of power storage devices arranged in an arrangement direction, the wiring module comprising:
an insulating protector; and a flexible printed wiring board disposed in the protector, wherein the protector has a shape extending in the arrangement direction, the flexible printed wiring board includes a main body part extending in the arrangement direction and disposed in the protector, and an extension piece extending from the main body part, the extension piece has a curved portion that is curved, and the extension piece is inverted by the curved portion, and the protector includes a locking part that locks to the extension piece from a direction to prevent the curved portion from deforming back to an original shape thereof.
2 . The wiring module according to claim 1 ,
wherein the protector includes a placement part on which the main body part is disposed, the locking part protrudes, from a distal end of a column part protruding from the placement part, in a direction intersecting a direction in which the column part extends, and the locking part locks to the extension piece from a side opposite to the placement part.
3 . The wiring module according to claim 2 ,
wherein an interval between the locking part and the placement part is set to be larger than the thickness of the extension piece.
4 . The wiring module according to claim 1 ,
wherein the extension piece and the main body part are coupled to each other via a proximal end portion, and the main body part includes a cut-out portion extending from the proximal end portion in the arrangement direction, and from which the extension piece is cut out.
5 . The wiring module according to claim 1 ,
wherein the extension piece extends outward relative to a contour of the main body part.
6 . The wiring module according to claim 1 ,
wherein a detection unit that detects the state of at least one of the plurality of power storage devices is connected to a distal end portion of the extension piece, and the distal end portion of the extension piece is pressed against the at least one of the plurality of power storage devices.
7 . The wiring module according to claim 6 ,
wherein the flexible printed wiring board has a first surface on which a conductive path is formed, and a second surface on which the conductive path is not formed, and the detection unit is connected to the conductive path on the first surface of the extension piece.
8 . The wiring module according to claim 7 ,
wherein the second surface of the distal end portion of the extension piece is pressed against the power storage device.
9 . The wiring module according to claim 1 ,
wherein the wiring module is a vehicle wiring module that is to be used mounted in a vehicle.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
